Run your race NOW! And ask your friends to run, too!
On your mark,get set, GO: SWEAT FREE ROAD RACE

On your marks…get set…sit back and enjoy the air conditioning and a cold drink! Who wants to be out running in the Georgia summer heat and humidity when you can do something really important and not break a sweat?

Sign up and join us in the 1st Annual SVdP Atlanta “Sweat Free Road Race”. You can ‘run’ the 5K, the 10K, or even a Marathon; and the best part is you won’t have to change into your running clothes to do it or take a shower when you’re done. You can ‘run’ the race from your living room, your den, the back porch, or even the pool! And you’ll even get an official race t-shirt to show off to your friends.

And when you run THIS race you not only won’t have to sweat, you’ll be doing a whole lot of good for a whole lot of people, because your donation will go to support the programs and services of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul in Georgia, programs and services that help our neighbors right here in our state who are in need. And by donating to St. Vincent de Paul Atlanta, you are supporting an organization that has been helping people here in Georgia since 1903, an organization where greater than 90% of funds received go directly to programs and services to help those in need.
